EU faces 'major challenges' due to anti-Russia sanctions - Borrell
The EU will encounter "major challenges" due to the sanctions it imposed on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, the bloc's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, has said. The issue was raised during Borrell's interview with the Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung, with journalists pointing out that many people in their country are "skeptical" about the anti-Russia measures. The diplomat claimed that the sanctions are working, and that "Russia is in trouble." "These are restrictive measures. We've limited Russia's economic possibilities. As long as Russia's economy is dependent on oil and gas, they'll be needing our technologies." However, Borrell acknowledged that "of course, we are facing major challenges in the short term" because of the sanctions, and "there is no denying that the price of gas is rising."

Germany vows to support Ukraine 'for years'
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia could "could go on for years", but Berlin will keep supporting Kiev all the way, Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has said. She told the Bild tabloid on Sunday: "Unfortunately, we have to assume that Ukraine will still need new heavy weapons from its friends next summer. Ukraine is also defending our freedom, our peace. Berlin will support Kiev "financially and militarily — and for as long as it is necessary, full stop!" Baerbock's pledge comes despite her admission earlier this week that Germany's military is facing an "absolute deficit" of hardware, due to arms shipments to Ukraine. Berlin has so far supplied artillery pieces, shoulder-fired rockets and anti-aircraft self-propelled guns to Ukraine. Nevertheless, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has faced criticism throughout the six months of the conflict, for his apparent reluctance to send more sophisticated weaponry to Kiev.

Moscow: US afraid inhumane acts committed by Azov terrorists will be made public
Washington is afraid that crimes committed by Ukraine's Azov* neo-nazi regiment would come to light during the international tribunal for war criminals in Mariupol, the Russian Embassy to the US said. The Russian embassy noted that the upcoming tribunal against Ukrainian war criminals, which is being prepared by the DPR authorities, would hold Ukrainian Neo-Nazis accountable. A statement read: "We have taken note of another groundless accusation against our country related to the Tribunal over Ukrainian war criminals. The upcoming Trial is aimed at bringing justice to war criminals, among which there are Nazis from the Azov Regiment. Washington is clearly afraid of making public the evidence of the inhumane acts committed by the members of this terrorist organization. "The International Tribunal in Mariupol can shed light on the true essence of the Kiev regime, of which the United States diligently creates a bright and heroic image. American citizens will finally learn that in...

Did the U.S. provoke Russia to sabotage Nord Stream 2?
There's a fair amount of evidence that the U.S. (or let's say 'elements within the U.S. foreign policy establishment') actually wanted Russia to invade Ukraine because they thought it was in America's strategic interests. Since the Maidan uprising in late 2013, the U.S. has taken an intense interest in Ukraine, and many of the decisions it has made seem almost designed to provoke Russia. This is not to say they definitely were - which is a matter for debate - only that it's hard to explain why else the U.S. would have made them. American officials publicly backed the 'Revolution of Dignity' in 2014, which saw the replacement of Ukraine's pro-Russian government with one made up of pro-Western nationalists. They even helped the Maidan 'revolutionaries' behind the scenes, though to exactly what extent is not clear. When you think about it, this is extremely provocative. Imagine if Chinese officials travelled to Canada, and publicly backed a protest movement seeking to replace Canada's...

Retired FBI boss disassembles Trump search warrant: Feds 'going to regret this'
The FBI's former intelligence chief declared Friday the agency should not have criminalized the records dispute between Donald Trump and the National Archives and that the bureau appears to have failed to meet the probable cause standard for the invasive search of the former president's Florida estate. "I think they're going to regret this," retired Assistant Director Kevin Brock told the Just the News, Not Noise television show after reviewing a heavily redacted affidavit the FBI used to persuade a judge to allow the Aug. 8 search at Mar-a-Lago. Brock, ordinarily an ardent defender of his former agency, has raised concerns for several days that the bureau did not exhaust other means to resolve the dispute over presidential and alleged classified records Trump kept. He said he did not believe the FBI adequately considered the possibility that Trump had wide latitude to declassify records and declare them personal. He said Friday his concerns were only heightened by the...

Biden's recession may cause NBC to cut 33% of primetime programming to save money
With viewership and revenues continuing to fall, NBC is looking to cut the number of hours it programs for primetime television. Under the plan being discussed, NBC would halt its primetime programing at 10 p.m. eastern (9 p.m. central) and hand that following hour each evening over to affiliates to air whatever programing they want, according to the Wall Street Journal. The decision has not been finalized, but if it does, the network would cancel a full third of the block of time that was once considered TV's top viewing hours. Such a move would drastically affect the network's scripted dramas airing in that final primetime hour.

Artillery hits Zaporozhye nuclear dump - UPDATE: Roof of nuclear reactor damaged by Kiev shelling
Four Ukrainian artillery rounds struck the spent fuel storage area, Energodar officials say. Four artillery projectiles fired from Ukrainian positions struck the fuel storage site of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant on Friday, authorities in the Russian-controlled city of Energodar claimed. They added that radiation levels remain normal, suggesting that they inflicted no damage. Europe's largest nuclear power plant was seized by Russian troops in early March, soon after Moscow launched its military operation in Ukraine. Since then, Russian National Guard and specialist troops have been guarding the site, while the Ukrainian staff continued operations.

How Arab states perceive the US-China standoff
West Asian countries recognize China's sovereign claims over Taiwan, yet many of them still rely on the US militarily and politically, so where do they stand? US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's controversial visit to Taiwan earlier this month sent waves of concern across Asia - both east and west - further straining already not-so-conciliatory relations between the US and China. During Pelosi's provocative trip, most West Asian nations supported China and the "One China" policy, illustrating Beijing's increased clout across the region. Arab countries in particular are committed to the One China policy, and given their fast-growing economic ties with Beijing, have not shown willingness to sacrifice these for the sake of any country, including the US. Arab support for China It is important to stress that Arab support for China has international legitimacy: The UN has supported Beijing's position since 1971, when the UN General Assembly backed a united China in Resolution 2758,...

CNN medical analyst who fiercely advocated masking admits it 'harmed' her own son's development

As we previously noted, Wen started to admit some months ago that masks don't work in stopping the spread of COVID, further declaring that "the decision to wear a mask should shift from a government mandate to an individual choice."

Inspectors set to visit Russian-controlled nuclear plant amidst increased shelling by Ukraine
As renewed shelling intensified fears about a nuclear accident at the Zaporizhzhia power plant, Ukrainian authorities stepped up emergency drills Saturday and rushed to hand out potassium iodide, a drug that can protect people from radiation-induced thyroid cancer, to tens of thousands of people living near the facility. Comment: Ukraine are practicing a nuclear fall out drill for a catastrophe that their shelling would cause. In a country still haunted by the memory of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, officials urged the public not to panic even as complex negotiations to allow for a team of scientists from the International Atomic Energy Agency to visit the Russian-controlled plant in southeastern Ukraine took on added urgency. The agency, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, has assembled a team of experts to travel to Zaporizhzhia — Europe's largest nuclear power station — as early as this week.

Sweden reveals complication in NATO talks between Turkey and PKK
Turkey has repeatedly raised the issue of photos of Swedish MPs waving PKK flags, Stockholm's foreign minister said Talks with Turkey on Sweden's accession to NATO have become more difficult, Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde said on Saturday. This is due to photos having emerged in July showing several left-wing Swedish parliamentarians posing with flags of a Kurdish organization Ankara considers terrorist. In June, following a series of intense negotiations, Turkey agreed to formally back the accession of Stockholm and Helsinki to the US-led military bloc on the condition that they crack down on groups that Ankara has designated terrorist organizations. Among them are Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) activists who sought asylum in the two Nordic states, and followers of the exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen. Deliberations on how to implement the agreement, which was signed during the NATO summit in Madrid, are still ongoing.

FDA to release latest COVID booster shots BEFORE human testing is complete
The Food and Drug Administration is expected to approve new COVID-19 booster shots this week — before the vaccines are tested on humans, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal. The new boosters are similar to the COVID vaccines currently available in the US with minor modifications that protect recipients from the latest version of the Omicron variant. Instead of waiting for data from testing in humans, the agency will use data from trials in mice — as well as the real-world evidence of the safety of currently available COVID vaccines and test results from earlier iterations of boosters targeting older strains — to evaluate the newest boosters, FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said.

Interview with a Montenegrin writer - World War II continues in Donbass
Having gained independence, Ukraine began to work against itself, against its historical memory, severing its own cultural and spiritual roots. Philosopher and writer from Montenegro Milutin Mićović is a frequent guest in Russia, a participant in international literary forums. He is convinced that Russian culture, despite any historical cataclysms, has preserved the connection with the people's memory and the ability to revive. Today Milutin Mićović reflects on what, in his view, is the historical meaning of the current events in Ukraine. He also shared his observations about how the tragic rift that emerged in the once united Slavic nation is assessed in the Balkan states.

'A vile, cruel crime': How Darya Dugina, daughter of philosopher Aleksandr, died and what it means for Russia
Russia was shocked by the brutal murder and the FSB believes Ukraine is responsible. Last weekend, a brutal murder stunned Russia. A young woman got into her car and drove home after a busy day at a literature and musical festival. She was on the highway when a bomb went off and her SUV caught fire. She died at the scene. Darya Dugina's devastated father, who was in a friend's car right beside his daughter's, watched as the rescue services extracted the burned body from the wreck. The attack immediately became a matter of national importance. Leaders of political parties and top Russian officials attended her funeral, while the president posthumously decorated her with a state award. RT explains why the death of Dugina may become a symbol of Russia's external political struggle, and what the Kremlin will do next.

Eye movements in REM sleep mimic gazes in the dream world
When our eyes move during REM sleep, we're gazing at things in the dream world our brains have created, according to a new study by researchers at UC San Francisco. The findings shed light not only into how we dream, but also into how our imaginations work. REM sleep - named for the rapid eye movements associated with it - has been known since the 1950s to be the phase of sleep when dreams occur. But the purpose of the eye movements has remained a matter of much mystery and debate. "We showed that these eye movements aren't random. They're coordinated with what's happening in the virtual dream world of the mouse," said Massimo Scanziani, PhD, senior author on the study, which appears in the Aug. 25, 2022, issue of Science. "This work gives us a glimpse into the ongoing cognitive processes in the sleeping brain and at the same time solves a puzzle that's triggered the curiosity of scientists for decades," he said.
